Bangalore Open Air 2014 – SHOW MUST GO ON!
Bangalore Open Air’s Crowdfunding effort has come to an end, the crowdfunding wasn’t a complete success because of the low participation. But, Salman U Syed, Organiser of Bangalore Open Air says that the SHOW MUST GO ON and they’re working on other plans to pull the gig off.
Salman U Syed says that they’re working on getting bands on the bill but nothing is confirmed as of yet. We all metalheads hope for getting a good lineup, although one thing which is confirmed is that – our dreams of watching Steven Wilson, Napalm Death, Mayhem on a single stage won’t be happening. The Crowdfunding effort was to raise Rs.44 Lakhs but as it has reached just 10%, this unfortunate situation has occurred.
The Bangalore Open Air Team put out a message to their followers on Facebook saying :
Those who have contributed to keeping metal alive would have received a mail saying that the event has been shelved and you will be receiving the funds back.
Here’s an explanation:
All of you are aware that the BOA team has been working with Wishberry for crowdfunding, and today was the last day of the campaign. What you received was an auto generated message. The event has not been cancelled as of now and we’re working towards bringing you guys the best edition of BOA!
The bands and dates will be announced very shortly. We are awaiting for few confirmations from the artists!
